So lets talk 10/22's again

[ThreeFingerPete]

You can polish anything? Doesn't make any sense. All of my internals in my receiver are polished - and it's a factory receiver. If you're not changing dimensions it's even more useless than first discussed.

So youre saying that a truer, straighter and more precise action has no benefit?

Who says it's any of those things? I have to laugh at all of this ridiculous speculation. None of you know any of these things, you're just assuming. I've never seen a receiver make a 10/22 more accurate.

Buy one and measure it.

Is it really that out of the question to believe that kidd could manufacture a better part than ruger sells?

You keep saying "...for a .22". Would you feel differently about the discussion if it were a center fire?

I'd rather focus on another suppressor. I just think you're buying into exactly what they want you to.

Tighter machining tolerances would imply that it's all of those things. Also, I should have used the word 'straighter' like Adam rather than smoother. What effect that has on accuracy (apparently not much based on your stock receivered guns that shoot well) is a different story though.

I'm not buying into shit. Guns are a sum of their parts and the kidd parts are better than ruger parts.

Triggers and barrels have huge advantages. Receivers on the other hand I'm not sold. I've personally never seen them do anything. Just because a bunch of competition guys have them doesn't mean much, I see 'competition' shooters buy dumb shit constantly. As a matter of fact, they are usually the worst.

Is the same true for centerfire rifles?

my friend bought a new ruger 10/22 a few months ago. he decided to stripped it down and polished the whole thing (in and out).

once you start pulling off the black finish you can see that the ruger receiver does leave a little to be desired in it's material. it's most likely completely within acceptable range in ruger's aluminum casting process.

now there is nothing wrong with ruger's receiver, but with this gun being so popular to modify, it opens up room for companies to create a "better version". i would venture to say the aftermarket receivers, simply by not being mass produced and using forged or milled receivers, should be "better".

now this may translate to little to no difference but it is an available and people will buy it.

[momo]

i guess really the only way to know if the aftermarket receiver is better is to shoot both guns with equal parts (other than the receiver), clamp them in a vice in a controlled environment, shoot them 1 million times and see who wins.

Is the same true for centerfire rifles?

On AK's going from stamped to milled makes a difference. But on AR15's it has no real discernible differences, all of the receivers are essentially the same. The tighter the tolerances the less reliable the rifle is pretty true though.

Tolerances or clearances?

What's the point in having a suppressor on a .22, anyway?

[Nash B.]

It's quiet. Very quiet.

It's quiet. Very quiet.

But it's quiet even without.
